PhpStorm/WebStorm EAP build 95.98

This build has a lot of notable bug fixes, usability and performance improvements – and we still managed to stick some neat features into it:

Introduce variable for PHP. This essential feature (default shortcut Ctrl-Alt-V) is still highly experimental and we eager to get your feedback on any of its various aspects. Note that some extra line breaks may be inserted near braces in current build. WIP

Php debugger got early notification of the problems with debugging. Select ‘Validate Xdebug setup before launch’ checkbox at your console or remote PHP/PHPUnit run configuration dialog, and PhpStorm will examine current Xdebug setup on your server and give you a report of the problems found before you start debugging

Deployment now when committing your files you can choose the server to upload the files to. Deployment settings can now be exported/imported in case you need it in another WebStorm/PhpStorm installation. Just click File | Export Settings… menu item and check ‘Deployment servers’ option. Also FTP deployment got its performance improved

PHP Console application working directory and script parameters can now be specified. If you leave working directory field empty, script containing folder will be used

Great job, honestly. Just found out about PhpStorm. From an editor point of view (the real drawback of every other PHP IDE) is amazing. The GUI is a bit spartan, to be honest, but I think you are going in the right direction regarding the functionalities and the also the performance of the whole environment.
